Thank you
LOL
But what does Mike Tyson have to do with this thread?
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!
These people obviously don’t believe in forgiveness!
excellent points
This is because the motives behind all of it is evil. If it was for goodness and righteousness the right way would eventually prevail. That tells you why the evil tactics to impart evil.
The woman told the truth in a deposition about something she said 30 years ago. That is all this woman did. Evil has turned our world inside out and upside down.
Where do the executives of Random House/Ballantine Books live? Paula Dean Fans should act like a bunch of liberals at Karl Rove’s house. Bang on the doors and windows. Scare the hell out of them and their families. If we don’t start acting as aggressively as they do, it will get worse for all of us.
Freedom of speech and association as well as goodness and decency must be defended from evil.
At the present time, evil is walking all over those who believe in goodness and decency because we haven't found our voice and started fighting back.
When we do start to fight back, humor and ridicule MUST be an important part of our arsenal.
Humor, as an ingredient, is how reality can be wielded in a manner immune to the smears and lies of our enemy.
The Left uses lies...we must use humor.
Liberals have been weaned on hatred and anger. It isn't a racial thing...it is a cultural thing.
There are many fine black conservatives, Jews and Christians.
It's not about the color of our skin...it is about choosing sides. The left has sided with Lucifer...and many of them even know it.
Very true... but it's NOT the business level that the Paula Deen business dynasty was operating on.
Look, Lady Gaga could make lot's more money selling direct to he fans... but there is ONE little catch. The establishment machine builds your image over time and you must quietly allow them to collect their "pound of flesh".
Without the "machine" your stuck at ground zero trying to launch yourself.
A TRUE exception to the rule, in music, was PRINCE. He was hyped big by the machine and became a name and a BIG seller. A few years back, on his own, he put out his latest album directly and later reported that he made more money on that ONE album than ALL of the albums he had collectively put out through the record label.
My point: The "establishment machine" feeds your hype because they are financially feeding off of it. Paula Deen has now been banished by this same establishment and she's now on the outside looking in. Like Prince she still has the notoriety but now must negotiate the system on her own.
The difference: Prince's popularity, according to the label, had faded over time. Paul Deen's popularity has been compromised over the silly a$$ "politically correct" idea that she used the "N" word many years ago. Strange world we live in these days.
The reason blacks use nigga all the time is to try to take the sting out of the word. Incidents like this just reload the sting and then some. The left has now fully recharged this word as a weapon that can wound. And they've disarmed blacks so that they need Democrat plantation lawyers to defend them, minus a cut.
“Something happened & she is being made an example of. I just wish she’d let us all in on it.”
She let the cat out of the bag about how much Michelle Obama ate on her show. Paula’s lucky she didn’t get droned.
yup
“OK. There is something WAY more going on here than a 60-something year old woman saying the n-word decades ago.”
It’s the new “zero tolernace for crackers” standard. This isn’t the same country it was five years ago.
That's the core issue. They have definitely RECHARGED the "N" word. They've recharged their light saber. The "N" word has POWER again.
Yeah... sorry to say, it's what keeps Jesse Jackson in business.
Good post. I’m inviting a self-published freeper novelist to comment.
I did the same and while I was at it I also sent a note to Smithfield Hams and to the Food Channel. Leftists actually enjoy another’s suffering.
Agreed...that's why I don't care that she supported Obama. She's an American who's being viciously attacked for using her freedom of speech. We need to be consistent and stand by her. Otherwise, it could be you or me next. She's being made an example of. Blacks and the Left are saying, "See, Crackers? WE decide what you can and can't say. You'd better toe the line or you're next."
I do care that she’s an Obama supporter. Every single person who voted for that man deserves exactly this treatment at the hands of the “more PC than thou” crowd.
First they came for the Obama supporters who dared to say the N-word....
